TL;DR: Gold nanoparticles deposited on nanocrystalline magnesium oxide is a very efficient catalyst for the reduction of nitro-arenes in aqueous medium at room temperature as discussed by the authors, and the reaction kinetics of reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol has been studied by UV-visible spectrophotometry, and its apparent rate constant has been determined and compared with those of other supported gold catalysts.

TL;DR: A simple and elegant synthesis of gold nanoparticles via counter ion stabilization of AuCl4− on nanocrystalline magnesium oxide support followed by sodium borohydride reduction is described in this paper.

TL;DR: Nanocrystalline magnesium oxide-stabi-lated palladium(0) (NAP-Mg-Pd(0)), as an efficient catalytic system has been employed for the selective oxidation of alcohols using atmospheric oxygen as a green oxidant at room temperature as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Gold nanoparticles stabilized on nanocrystalline magnesium oxide is shown to be an efficient heterogeneous catalytic system for the synthesis of symmetrical biaryls via homocoupling of aryl iodides as mentioned in this paper.
